I always enjoy dishes like this. Easy to throw together but the flavor can't be beat. I used thighs for this because I like the fact that they are a little juicier...but you can use the breast if you want. This is something that doesn't need a lot of prep work to make it easy for those busy days. Basically you can fix it and forget it. Sometimes those are the best kinds of recipes!!
4 - 6 chicken thighs (I used bone-in)
1 onion - sliced
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add some olive oil. Brown chicken on both sides for a few minutes.
Remove chicken from skillet and place on a paper plate.
Add onion slices to the skillet and cook for a few minutes.
Add chicken back into the skillet on top of the onions. Cover and allow to cook on low for an hour or so.
Combine milk and flour, with a little more salt and pepper, and pour over chicken. Stir it around a bit and recover and allow gravy to thicken.
Serve over rice or noodles or with potatoes.
